splendor in buenos aires for LEL

girlontape has been trying to fathom the art of the histeriqueo aka the argie mating dance. Here's how a friend once described it:

-If you LIKE the guy, you must never let the word YES cross your lips.
-Does anyone ever actually get laid by doing that?
-All the time. You just never verbally agree to it.
-How about in the sack...are you allowed to moan yesyesyes in a moment of passion?
-In bed anything goes, but it becomes meaningless as soon as you re-enter real life.
-Is there ever a point where it's ok to play it straight?
-Hmmm...not really. Unless you're like, married to the guy or something. And even then...it's dicey.

Being a proud psychobitch just like sinead, girlontape at first rashly dismissed these orwellian instructions for they smacked of female obeisance to quaint virgin-whore dichotomies and let's face it: we all know nice girls are doomed to a lifetime of boring sex.

To our heroine, manipulating a man into bed was akin to hiding behind a tit job, faking an orgasm, not knowing where your g-spot is, letting your mother give you shit about your hairstyle: so splendor in the grass...so last century...and no way was girlontape gonna end up like deanie. After all she had her dancing feet, some cute dresses and a rock 'n roll heart, which in her book are more than enough for any self-respecting, hot-blooded psychobitch to earn her share of good clean american fun, as her friend george puts it.

Imagine her puzzlement, then, as the better the chemistry, the faster her dashing suitors would flip out for no apparent reason. Can't we all just get along? was our heroine's constant inner cry as, time and again, her freedom-loving spirit was met with bizarre temperamental outbursts, uncalled-for promises, demands & declarations, unnecessary macho posturing & petty lies, histrionic recriminations and all manner of below the belt punches.

The name of the game, it seemed, was dirty pool...unless you played the histeriqueo card: no sooner did girlontape apply this retro notion, than scores of perfectly charming, good-willed, mentally healthy, incredibly hot tattoed boytoys with rock 'n roll hearts showed up on her doorstep. Oh bud....bud...I'm not a nice girl! I'm not a nice girl! our heroine chanted inwardly as, flipping her hair and feigning indifference, she stepped into the latest candidate's super sexy muscle car and let him manfully drive her into the sunset.

I prefer histeriqueo than obscenity. as JB will say about obsenity:
"Obscenity begins when there is no more spectacle, no more stage, no more theater, no more illusion, when every-thing becomes immediately transparent, visible, exposed in the raw and inexorable light of of information and communication. Simultaneously the subject has a need to speak and nothing to say -- to affirm his/her existence in the face of the disappearance of the subject and the hypervisibility of the obscene object: The need to speak, even if one has nothing to say, becomes more pressing when one has nothing to say, just as the will to live becomes more urgent when life has lost its meaning."

Histeriqueo, or seduction are more refined; they are a game that can be enjoyable to play.
I do not know what is the exact difference between histeriqueo an seduction, besides that seduction sounds nicer. can anyway tell me?

El histeriqueo es un tonto juego narcicista, borderline masoquista, una brutal perdida de tiempo. Es comprar un helado y disfrutar viendo como se derrite a la vista de los demas. Es el juego de los Mr and Mrs "Ensimismiths", sin verdad ni consecuencias. Esta red no atrapa otra cosa que algun neurotico.
La seduccion es primitiva, salvaje y atemporal, es romance y sexo. Es para animales que saben que no hay tiempo que perder.
Ese cachorro negro bonito lo debe saber mejor que cualquiera.

histeriqueo = disfuncion
seducción = sexy
that's about it marian....creo yo.

Mariana Soffer said...

Si stef, creo que es como vos decis, pero muchas veces distinguir entre ambas se me hace imposible.
Beso

Simpática y puntual said...

girlontape said...

jajaja Fer
hacete mujer x un día dsps nos contas como te fue

Fer said...

si me hiciera mujer me encararía a mí mismo... cómo hago?

girlontape said...

yo me encaro a mi misma all the time, la paso bomba

Fer said...

otra: encarar a alguien para qué? para one night bed. nooooo. si una mujer encara tiene que ser para algo un poco más digno. lo demás es cosa de pobres hombres.

girlontape said...

ves? acabas de comprobar mi generalización fer

Mariana Soffer said...

Me encanto la frase:"yo me encaro a
mi misma all the time, la paso bomba"

Me gustaria saber:
-Como rompo el hielo conmigo misma?
-Como no me angustio cuando me rechazo?
-Como se que es el momento de dejar de hablarme asi no pienso que soy una pesada?
-Como hago para terminar la cita si me doy cuenta de que soy una boluda?
-Que hago si no me gusta mi piel y ya estoy en mi casa conmigo tomando champania y con velas prendidas?
